The EESC Committee is also in favor of setting a 150 GWP cap across all technologies and promoting incentives schemes and public procurement for f-gas-free alternatives.
The UK Climate Change Committee urged the government to increase the ambition of HFC consumption reduction targets, publish targets and plans on heat pumps that do not use f-gases, reduce inhaler emissions and support stronger international action on reducing emissions.
*This article has been updated on August 1. Party groups in the European Parliament have appointed Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) who will follow the development of the proposed EU F-gas Regulation in the coming months.

Similar to utility rebates, refrigerant-carbon-credits program rewards owners of refrigeration systems for replacing HFCs with natural refrigerants like CO2.
The HEATR Act and the ICEE HOT Act would provide incentives for manufacturers of heat pumps; refrigerants are not mentioned.
The state is considering expanding its HFC regulation and funding demonstration projects to support natural refrigerants in low income areas.
Decisive action on short-lived climate pollutants such as HFCs is found essential to limit global warming in the next 25 years, with only decarbonization policies yielding results in the long run and overshooting targets in the near term.
German study discovered a two-to-five-fold TFA increase between 1995 and 2018.
